The Taiwan calendar works exactly like the Gregorian calendar, except the year is different. Years in Taiwan are calculated from the year 1912, when Dr. Sun Yat-sen founded a republic in China. 1912 represents Year 1 of the Taiwan calendar. To calculate the year in the Taiwan calendar, take the year in the Gregorian calendar and subtract 1911. For instance, the Gregorian calendar year 1971 would be 60 in the Taiwan calendar.

The Thai calendar uses the Buddhist Era (BE), which is 543 years older than the Christian Era (AD). To convert from a BE date to an AD date, subtract 543. Thus BE 2543=2000. Before April 1, 1889 AD, Thailand used a lunar calendar of 12 or 13 months each with 29 or 30 days, each month starting with the new moon. The Gregorian calendar was adopted on April 1, 1889.
